Today is Flag Day
For all the English speaking American:
I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
For those who speak Spanish, an official language of New Mexico and Puerto Rico:
Yo prometo lealtad a la bandera de los estados Unidos de America, y a la Republica que representa, una Nacion bajo Dios, entera,con libertad y justicia para todos.
For those who speak French, an official language of Louisiana:
J´engage ma fidelité au drapeau des États-Unis d´Amérique et à la République qu'il répresente, une nation sous Dieu, indivisible, avec liberté et justice pour tous.
For the History Revisionist who still rue the day that German lost to English as the language for the new American nation in 1776 and a few obstinate people in the Midwest:
Ich schwöre Treue auf die Fahne der Vereingten Staaten von Amerika und die Republik, für die sie steht, eine Nation unter Gott, unteilbar, mit Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit für jeden.
If you mean it from the bottom of your heart, I am proud to stand side by side with you as a true American. Your brave ancestors died so we can be free today. I would be the last to take away your liberty or tell you how to express your love of our great nation. Fly the flag proudly and salute it, as a symbol of all America has to offer. The greatest gift of all is tolerance. Thank you God and thank the USA.
I would have done it in Japanese and Chinese but I couldn’t find the characters on my typewriter and there are just too many Native American languages. But if you have another version, please be my guest and add it to the list. God Bless America.
